TRD/ Magnuson 4.0 Supercharger Tips, Tricks, and Mods

@12TRDTacoma, picks of the smoke show will be required

 

No smoke shows will be happening here my good sir. AHH HELLLL NOOOO!

 

Awesome car! I think you’re missing a pedal though..

 

Back problems and lower extremity issues will make the third pedal disappear like that.

 

ugh, didn't read and got busted. thought 2.7" URD pulley was plug and play so cranked it on there until i noticed it wouldn't spin. pulled it off and checked URD website. oh yeah, snout trim. i begrudgingly ordered 2.85.

i have to replace current 2.85 setup because i got the blingy one and live in CA. i was excited to go 2.7 because i got a used one in decent shape for $60 and had visions of moar boost. now i'm out $160 for the new 2.85, $100+ for the billet 2.85, and $60 for the used 2.7. Ended up paying 2x the cost of a 2.85 by trying to be cheap with the supergrip pulley. Perfect TW math.

 

if you didnt cause damage its a frustrating yet not terrible mistake.

 

sweet car brother!!

 

Worked perfectly. Thanks guys

 

reminds me i need to install mine. a little hesitant to open up the case.

 

Super easy man. Don’t worry it’s very hard to mess it up

 

Thanks brother. Front license plate delete is done. Now the car looks proper in front.

 

The snout coupler is one of the easier mods to do. It just takes time because of the steps you have to take to remove it and reinstall it for sure.

 

indeed. in my younger days i would have totally fucked this up. i backed out the press tool midway through to check progress and noticed something wrong. by the time i'm 80 i'll have it all figured out.

 

same here. im just trying to be positive and supportive as i fuck up many simple mods.

 

Here yee here yee indeed.

I can't count the amount of times you've messaged me in some fashion asking me questions about stuff that you either already screwed up or have no clue what to do on. It's pretty funny no lie, but that being said hey that's how you learn. We love having you here as our resident redneck Jesse.

 

Can I ask why or what caused to replace it?

 

They blow out like pic below. Mine was worse when I removed it at 80k miles on s/c

 

It was rattling at idle

 

My spring coupling only lated 90k. Definitely good to git it swapped out.

 

Would the HP Tuners MPVI-2 PRO work to pull in the AFR data? It says it has two analog inputs. I know it's quite an expensive add-on, but for those not wanting to have extra cables and don't mind spending extra money, this is another solution.

Durable manufacturing - made of high-strength polyurethane

Cool, I may buy this to save on some shipping and having to order stuff some so many sources and paying out the nose for shipping on all of them.
